Kellogg Manor House

We had our Wedding Ceremony and a Bridal shower here....Nichole was amazing to work with...She. W was very accomodating to our needs and very professional and knowledgeable. We loved working with her and th Manor was such s beautiful setting for a wedding.

The Manor House is absolutely beautiful. The staff is very accommodating and you basically have your own wedding planner (thanks Nicole)! Josh did all our food and he is amazing! Thank you!!!!! If you are having a medium to small wedding, I would definitely check out the Manor House, its one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Michigan and a great value! I was relaxed and happy on my wedding day. I was confident they would take care of everything! One of my friends, who was in my wedding, is actually having her reception here! All of the staff did a great job--thank you to all of you!

Chris was fantastic!! She helped me create my perfect day. The grounds and the house were beautiful. The dining room and buffet room were awesome! We did nothing but sit back and enjoy the day of our wedding. The staff was absolutely incredible! The Chef was a-ma-zing!! I got so many complements on it all. Just a perfectly-wonderful venue!

I could not have asked for a better, more smooth wedding. The staff was great and the event planner was amazing. It was truly blessed to have found and used the Kellogg Manor House, it made for a beautiful memory.

I could not ask for more from a venue - it was beautiful, everything worked like clockwork, and Nicole Kokx, the on-site wedding coordinator did everything possible to make our wedding day as personalized as we wanted it. We had hoped for an outdoor wedding, but had planned for mid-October (a weather gamble!). I was able to test out the weather and had to make the call only a few hours before the ceremony was to begin, luckily, because the weather improved as the day went on and we had a gorgeous outdoor wedding. Our guests loved the intrinsic beauty of the Manor House, and we had only a little decorating to do to transform the interior into a fantasy. We had many compliments on the food, and had everyone eagerly back for brunch the next morning.

The Kellogg Manor House was a wonderful venue for both the ceremony and reception. The views to the lake from the house, gardens and pagoda created the perfect setting. Equally important was our coordinator, Nicole Klox, who was wonderful to work with as she was extremely knowledgable of what needed to be discussed, helpful with creative ideas and prompt with her responses to all my questions. I have highly recommended this to friends who are looking for wedding locations.

Got married Fall 2009. Nicole Kokx was amazing and made planning our big day a lot easier! She has a lot of experience planning events at the Manor House and ran the ceremony and reception smoothly. Additionally, the food was amazing! We got many compliments on dinner/appetizers. We also had a brunch the next morning (omlettes made-to-order, danishes, etc.), again delicious! The chef was flexible and did his best to accomodate our party. We have nothing but good things to say about our wedding weekend.

Everthing was PERFECT! Highly recommended! :)

The whole staff was completely professional and assisted with all of our needs.

We could not have asked for a better wedding location. Nicole was amazing in her organization of the event.

The Kellogg Manor house is an absolutely stunning place to get married. Everyone that came to our wedding told me how beautiful our wedding site was. It was also so much fun to get ready in the Kellogg mansion. Chris was so helpful in coordinating our wedding and make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend this wedding site to anyone.

I loved working with the Kellogg Manor, specifically Nicole Kokx. I highly recommend the Manor House for weddings or any event. Nicole was extremely flexible and met with us on the weekends. Additionally, Nicole responded to each of our inquiries immediately. Nicole is professional, kind and a wonderful person to work with when planning a wedding. The Kellogg Manor is a spectacular venue on Gull Lake. My husband and I had the time of our lives at our wedding! Thank you for everything.

My husband and I choose the Kellogg Manor House for our wedding after we attended a wedding there in December. We fell in love with the house and all of the surroundings. It is a beautiful place for a wedding. Our wedding was perfect! We had both our ceremony and reception at the house and were blown away by the staff and their attentiveness. Besides some bad weather and warm temperatures (the house is air conditioned, but can only be set at a certain temp due to antiques), we had no complaints. The food was wonderful and all of our guests comented on it. I would highly recommend the Kellogg Manor House for a wedding.

I was completely enthralled with the Kellogg Manor House. It was the perfect place and the history associated with this site was amazing. The staff were superb. My DJ said he had never been treated so well. They were professional, and at the same time, fun and added so much to the wedding. Nicole took care of so many details that I never even thought of. My father was able to attend from a local Hospice House and the staff made his visit a great experience for him and my family. I honestly felt that the staff was part of our family after everything was said and done. And the food---it was the greatest. I had so many guests say that the food was the best they had ever had and it was one of the first weddings where they were never hungry waiting for things to begin. There was so much for the guests to occupy their time with after the ceremony and before the reception began that I never had to worry about them while photographs were being taken. My every need was met and filled way past anything I could have imagined. I never wanted the evening to end. My guests are still talking about it.

Nicole and the staff were wonderful at the Manor House. The grounds were beautiful and the wedding turned out lovely! Nicole was very fast to answer any questions or concerns I had via email or phone. The staff was flexible with my special requests and very kind. I would recommend this site for anyone who is having a smaller intimate wedding with about 80 guests. It is perfect!

The staff [Nicole] at the Manor House made everything so easy. Once the big day rolled around, I didn't have to think of anything...I could focus on the wonderful day and really enjoy myself! The grounds at the Manor House were maintained beautifully. The food was wonderful, as well. Nicole was very helpful in making recommendations that suited what we were looking for in a venue, but still allowed us flexibility. The convenience of the services that are provided by the Manor House, combined with the quality and the fabulous setting makes this a place where we would have our wedding over and over again! My only complaint would be that the Manor House is a venue for other events/conferences, etc. During the rehearsal, there were conferees walking around, through the area where we were rehearsing. Although we were reassured that this wouldn't be the case during the wedding, it happened. There were also conferees were watching the ceremony from up top of the Manor House and were speaking very loudly - to the point where some of our guests could hear. There were also some conferees sitting on the steps directly behind where the ceremony took place and as the wedding party departed the ceremony, the bridal party had to squeeze past the conferees sitting on the steps. Honestly, I didn't know any of this was going on, but when I found out [why someone told me, I don't know] I thought it was very disrespectful and was slightly disappointed.

This is a beautiful venue!! I had so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was. A definite value for the cost!!!

The ceremony site was beautiful! We could not have asked for better weather! Sunny and mostly clear skies, nice breeze off the lake kept everyone cool and comfy. I do have to say, despite the beautiful grounds, and the awesome weather, there were a couple concerns that I had. They wanted to charge us almost 140.00 just to have bottled water for our guests (we provided our guests with our own and only spent 45 dollars; water/ice/container). While they do have an outlet down in the Pagoda Garden, the site is not wired for sound. They have one wireless lapel (spelling?) mic that the officiant wears (they bring down a speaker) but if you want music being played or plan to have a any special readings done, you have to provide your own equiptment because you cannot hook-up anything to their "system." The women we origianlly spoke with Nicole, was not there to coordinate our ceremony and I was hoping she would've been as she was the one we set everything in motion with. It had appeared to me that there wasn't much follow-through as her assistant who ran the event wasn't fully into it and felt rushed during our rehersal with not much guidance/involvement. For the price we paid, I would have expected a bit more from the staff coordinating our ceremony. Other than the above mentioned mishaps, these few "speedbumps" didn't get in the way of us enjoying the event of the year!

We had an Indian wedding, something that KBS had never done before. And they were so accommodating, and did their best to make our day wonderful. We are so appreciative of all their help and assistance before, during and after the wedding.

A great place for a ceremony and reception if you are looking for a place for your guests to enjoy and remember. Beautiful gardens and the lakeshore create a magical atmosphere that any bride would love. Growing up in the area for the past 22 years I had always dreamed of having my wedding at the Manor House along the lakeshore. I couldn't have picked a more beautiful area to have our friends and family join us in our special day. The weekend before high winds and tornadoes came through the area and the staff worked hard all week making sure the lakeshore and gardens were in their best shape for a wedding. I really appreciate all the hard work and attention to detail by everyone!
